As you can imagine the cost of travel and accomodation to photograph cemeteries around the state is enormous.  Living in Adelaide, and having now completed most cemeteries within a 100 klm radius, it now requires day trips or overnight stays to add to this resource.  In the 2007/2008  financial year we travelled over 11,500 klms specifically to photograph cemeteries incurring a loss of over $6500.  Again in 2008/2009 nearly 10,000 klms were travelled and a loss of $5,600 incurred.

This year we have travelled to Whyalla, north to Orroroo areas and Mount Remarkable areas and most weekends we travel to photograph cemeteries.  I even venture out on my own some weekdays in the cooler weather.   Our most recent trip to Kangaroo Island cost $578 just in fares, car transport on the ferry and for 2 nights accommodation.

Many weeks, even months, are then spent sitting at the computer, looking at each photo and renaming the files.

For you to appreciate the time spent, visit your nearest cemetery, photograph 50 headstones and return home and rename them on your computer.  Multiply this time by 100 and this is about the time it takes to complete a Medium cemetery.  

Whilst the sale of the odd few disks goes towards offsetting some of these costs, it no where near covers the expenses incurred.

If you would like to show your appreciation of the work that has been done, and feel that you would like to make a donation to the associated cost incurred, you can do this via the 'Pay Pal' button at the top of this page.
I wish everyone well with their family research,

Many thanks
